Beyond Church Tradition

Absolutely amazing book. Spencer goes beyond 'mere opinion' by utilizing hermeneutical methodology to prove her point that women are equal to men in the sight of God and should be allowed to fully participate in minstry and teaching in the church. She explores the original Hebrew and Greek as well as historical context of the NT epistles. This is a book that church traditionalists who believe in the secondary role of women to men do not want their members to read. One note - while Spencer's treatise is somewhat dry as it goes into so much depth, it's worth reading nonetheless.
